I love this amp. I have owned it for 3-4 months now, and it is more than enough for what I do. This is a practice amp. It wont blow your windows out, but it might rattle your fine china. I use it in my garage and anything more than half volume is too much for that small of a space. I'm using a Dean Vendetta into a Boss CS-3 (w/ a Monte Allums opto plus mod) into the amp. As far as features go, this amp has a lot. Chorus, Flange, Rotary, Delay as well a a few room and hall effects. It also has a separate channel for gain. Not to mention a gain boost which seems to just push it a little further. All in all the effects are usable and fun and the gain is pretty high and that coupled with the included footswitch you have a great allaround amp that I will be using for a long time to come. Oh, and that switch is two-in-one. One switch for the channel select and the other to turn on and off the effects. This is the first Randall I have owned and if this one was destroyed I would get myself another. I'm not too worried about that though the amp is well-built and feels really solid and the footswitch is a pretty rugged little metal box.
